Book 18 — The Beggar King of Ithica
Empires leave stone. Waves erase footprints. Between Torre Salsa and Enna, Book 18 lingers on beaches, olive groves, ancient temples, and the calm that can anaesthetise as effectively as chaos.

Book 14: The Loyal Swineherd
I climbed La Rocca in Cefalù with a pork sandwich in my bag and siegecraft on my mind. This chapter has it all: Byzantine cisterns, soft caponata, hips full of regret. open.substack.com/pub/roylam…

Book 4 of The Oidyssey drops you into the waves of the Amalfi Coast—Positano, Sorrento, and a train ride that bends time. This chapter is a dreamy interlude about myth, motion, and the quiet joy of watching the world go by. #oidyssey25

Book 3 – King Nestor Remembers
I came to Naples as a gateway. I found Yossarian’s ghost, a plate of pasta, and silence where gods used to speak. War, wine, waiting — and moving forward anyway.
